speedy mushroom stroganoff

This speedy mushroom stroganoff is such a quick and easy midweek meal. Yet it really packs a punch on the flavour front, with a gorgeous creamy paprika mustard sauce coating those mushrooms.

Using mushrooms in place of beef means you can make this dish really quickly, and they give a lovely depth of flavour to the stroganoff. Plus it’s so much cheaper to use mushrooms, so you are winning on both fronts!

I found using creme fraiche in place of cream really elevates the dish, giving it a beautiful freshness. Plus a squeeze of lemon at the end of cooking is my magic ingredient. It really brings the flavours together (and does not make it taste lemony).

If you can’t find creme fraiche in the shops, use sour cream instead and skip the addition of lemon (as sour cream is more sour than creme fraiche) – it works really nicely.

Is This Mushroom Stroganoff Freezer Friendly?

Yes it’s freezer friendly too, so is a great one to make ahead of time, portion up and freeze.

Do I Have to Use Chestnut Mushrooms?

No you can use any mushrooms you like, but chestnut mushrooms are a super cost effective ingredient and have a great taste. They are very underrated, in my opinion.

I slice the mushrooms when I make it, but you can keep them chunkier if you prefer more bite to your dish. Cut the mushrooms in the quarters and cook until soft.
